C11-Sodium Acetate PET/CT Imaging for Metastatic Disease in Intermediate-to-high Risk Prostate Adenocarcinoma

March 5, 2019 updated by: Fabio Almeida MD, Phoenix Molecular Imaging
Positron emission tomography using carbon-11 acetate (AC-PET) may help find local or distant metastases from prostate cancer. This clinical trial is studying how this imaging test may help influence the choice and extent of initial treatments, and subsequent treatments.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the role of positron emission tomography using carbon-11 acetate (AC-PET) in the initial and subsequent management of patients with prostate cancer at intermediate or high risk for recurrence after initial curative therapy.
  • Compare the value of AC-PET in predicting recurrence of prostate cancer with that of conventional approaches (e.g., pre-operative clinical staging, prostate-specific antigen, Gleason score, prostate and lymph node histology) in these patients.
